Russia's Own Hannibal The Cannibal
Andrei
Romanovich Chikatilo, a Russian Jew , is
known as the ‘Butcher of Rostov’ or ‘Russia’s Hannibal', was convicted in
1992 of murdering 52 female victims during a 12-year reign of terror.
Chikatilo, a pedophile, was able to gain sexual excitement only by
stabbing girls and young women.
He then made a concoction of various bodies, boiling nipples and
genitalia together. He lay undiscovered from 1982-1990 and was only
finally convicted for his crimes on the 15th of October 1992. Chikatilo
himself told the authorities of how he viewed himself as a person:
In 1994 the Russian police executed him with a shot to the back of his
head.
